"Crypto always goes up long-term, so even if you're down, you'll eventually be right."
That's the lie I told myself right before my ADA, DOGE, and SOL leveraged positions (12x, even 100x sometimes) got wiped. "Long-term" only matters if you *survive* the short-term. With 100x leverage, a tiny 1% drop means liquidation – your entire position is gone. You don't get to ride it back up, because your capital vanished. Even at 12x, a sharp dip can drain your margin account before the "long-term" ever kicks in. What's true is that leveraged trading removes your ability to hold through volatility. If your capital is liquidated, you're out of the game. What's the point of crypto going up in the long run if you're already broke?
